It would be recalled that recently the Nzema youth called on President Mahama to appoint an Nzema as Ghana Gas CEO in fulfilment of a promise he made to the people in the area during the 2024 electioneering campaign.
The youth therefore view Madam Blay’s appointment as a strategic decision to address longstanding challenges in the Nzema area, particularly in infrastructure development and youth employment.
According to the Convener of the Concerned Youth of Nzema, Jonas Kabutey, the Acting Ghana Gas CEO’s is expected to bring strategic direction to the organisation to ensure efficiency and growth in the country’s gas sector.
He noted that the appointment marks a significant milestone in the country’s energy sector, given Madam Blay’s extensive experience in leadership, policy development, and sustainable business practices.

Meanwhile, the Director of Operations at Ghana Gas, Robert Lartey has been elevated to the position of Deputy MD, reinforcing the company’s commitment to strong leadership and operational efficiency.
It is believed that the leadership team is well-positioned to drive Ghana Gas towards achieving its long-term goals.
